Three-dimensional (3D) imaging quantitatively assessed early facial profile changes after nonsurgical rhinoplasty. The study found significant acute spatial alterations in nose shape following hyaluronic acid filler treatment without adverse effects.
Area of Science:
- Aesthetic Medicine
- Plastic Surgery
- Medical Imaging
Background:
- Objective evaluation of postprocedural outcomes is crucial.
- Three-dimensional (3D) surface imaging offers accurate quantification of facial soft tissue dimensions.
Purpose of the Study:
- To compare preprocedural and acute postprocedural facial angles (nasofrontal, nasofacial, nasolabial, nasomental).
- To evaluate early changes in nasal height, length, and volume using 3D imaging after nonsurgical rhinoplasty.
Main Methods:
- 3D surface imaging analysis was performed on 40 Korean women undergoing nonsurgical rhinoplasty.
- Assessments were conducted using a Morpheus 3D scanner before and at multiple time points after hyaluronic acid filler injections (immediately, 1 day, 2 weeks).
Main Results:
- Significant early changes in facial profile were observed, including increased nasofrontal (6.03°), nasolabial (3.79°), and nasomental (0.88°) angles, and decreased nasofacial angle (-0.83°) at 2 weeks.
- Nasal volume and height showed an increase after 2 weeks.
- No adverse events such as hematoma, nodules, or skin necrosis were reported.
Conclusions:
- 3D surface imaging effectively quantified early facial profile modifications after structured filler rhinoplasty.
- The study demonstrates significant acute spatial changes in nasal morphology following nonsurgical rhinoplasty.
